The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic, political, and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages. Generally described as taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature, and art.

Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Galileo, and Machiavelli are few of the renowned figures that this period gave birth to.
